Mad Insurance Prices

7y, 5m agoPosted 7 years, 5 months ago

Well hello there,

Im 19 years old, I was going to get ready to buy a used Vauxhall Vectra VRX 07 reg with 20k miles on the clock for about £11,000. But for the heck of it I wanted to see how much insurance would cost and I get around the 5k mark. OMGWTFBBQ my dream car for the price gone down the drain. WHY SOOO MUCH?! I'm so frustrated, thats a total rip-off.

At 19 I was quoted over 4k to be insured on a peugeot 206, 53 reg, everything standard apart from alloys, parked in a garage. (worth 3k)
My dream car was the new style corsa....insurance was around the 2/3k mark for that....its daft, then they wonder why no1 has insurance!

all down to statistics unfortunately........insurers like a good credit score too and in yoiur teens you wouldn't have gained that :roll:

it is a rip off, insured my first car for about £30 lol

yeah, for my 21st I was given 5k for a car and 1st year insurance....thought 4k on car, 1k on insurance....how wrong I was!
Although at one house it was cheaper than at my other one, even though at the cheaper one my car got broke into twice! :roll:
Just reinforces the point of why bother with insurance...rediculous!

I think the most shocking thing at your age is the fact that you want to buy a Vectra?

Get something like a 3 series BM or a cooper s.

Or you could get your ma or pa to put you on their insurance, but you will have to be a named driver, not main. Up to you but if they find out they wont pay up if all goes wrong. But as you said, you are a careful driver . . .
